Right, so one of the basic nice things about the CentOS SIGs is that all the stuff you don't need to be current can be RHEL-stable, and the handful of things you do want to be current can be fresh. My main question is whether explicitly calling it "Fedora" is the right thing to do (even if in practice it's just a re-build of the Fedora package). -George _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
